About

Spotlight Science is a regular program connecting you to
current research at the University of Minnesota and giving you the
chance to meet the scientists and students who make the projects
possible. Join us for special conversations and unique interactive
experiences.
 
Researchers at the University of Minnesota and University of
Wisconsin-Madison are working together to study plant biodiversity
across scales in a time of rapid environmental change. They are using
high-tech tools (like drones and satellites) to study plant
biodiversity, from genes to the whole planet. Visit the Bell Museum for
the opportunity to:
  • Meet students and researchers from the UMN-UW research institute focused on spectral biology
  • Check-out demonstrations of their high-tech tools and research techniques in action
  • Learn more about how plants respond to environmental change
About the Special Guests:
  • Researchers from ASCEND (Advancing Spectral biology in Changing ENvironments to understand Diversity, an NSF-supported Biology Integration Institute)

This is an in-person event at the Bell Museum. Activities and events will be held throughout the museum and are included in the cost of regular admission.
